This detox carrot soup is a perfect way to start the new year if you want to start eating healthier.
t’s delicious, and it is a detox soup. In January we are always bombarded with photos of miracle drinks and diets, but I still prefer to eat deliciously and healthy. My theory is that if each day we include more and more healthy and clean ingredients into our diet. And obviously, I do not mean clean as in washed, I mean as in natural ingredients that come from the earth. We will slowly get back on track.
Let me talk to you about this soup… it contains turmeric, ginger, garlic, onion, apples, and carrots. It loaded with nutrition. These ingredients are anti-inflammatories, and they are full of antioxidants, vitamins, and GOOD STUFF.
And best of all, this detox carrot soup is ready in a pinch. It can be done in the pressure cooker, regular pot or instant pot. Anywhere you want or can prepare it. Either way, it is delicious, and it is a perfect way to begin to include ingredients and tasty recipes to our diet.
I finished the detox carrot soup with roughly chopped cilantro (which has super powers to help our body eliminate everything that does not need ), scallions, a few drops of chili oil and pumpkin seeds (pepitas). But you can finish it with whatever you want: with chickpeas, peanuts, almonds, spinach, mint, or anything else you have on hand.
